Debut mystery novel Twenty-Five Years Ago Today examines what happens when an obit writer and aspiring reporter stumbles across a cold case on the microfilm.
(PressZoom) - Twenty-Five Years Ago Today, the debut mystery novel of award-winning journalist Stacy Juba, is now available from Mainly Murder Press.
The book follows the story of obit writer and editorial assistant Kris Langley, who feels like the newsroom slave – that is, until she stumbles across an unsolved murder while compiling "25 Years Ago Today" items from the microfilm. Determined to launch her reporting career, Kris investigates the cold case of an artistic young cocktail waitress obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology. She soon learns that yesterday's headline is tomorrow's danger, for finding out the truth about that night twenty-five years ago may shatter Kris’s present, costing her love, her career, and ultimately, her life.
Like her main character, Juba began her journalism career as an obit writer and editorial assistant, where she spent a great deal of time compiling “25 Years Ago Today” columns from the microfilm.
“The subject of cold cases is a timely one, and for the fictional scenario in my book, I challenged myself to create intriguing twists and turns,” said Juba. “I think that readers will like taking a crack at the puzzle along with my sleuth, Kris Langley.”
After years of working as a reporter, Juba now concentrates on writing fiction and freelancing. Her second mystery novel Sink Or Swim, about a personal trainer who is stalked after appearing on a hit reality TV game show, will be published in December 2010.
